Kunstart: Collage
Technik: Materialcollage
Stil: Abstrakt
Statement:
My art reflects my responses to the visual stimulations of contemporary life, and to the actual materials with which I work.
For several years I worked as a composer and performer (Guggenheim Fellow, NEA and NYSCA commissions, MacDowell Colony Fellow residencies, performed and recorded with jazz great Jaki Byard). My experiences composing and creating musical structures inform my current work in the visual arts.
Found objects, pieces of metal, wood, fabric, and artist's pigments are the raw materials of my current work. Each piece begins when a particular juxtaposition of elements intrigues me enough to start working on a piece.
At the point when the addition of even one other element will 'destroy' the work, and the subtraction of even one single element will leave it incomplete, the piece is finished.
I have not yet spoken of the 'emotional content' of my work. It will be there - a priori - in every art work, with or without the artist’s conscious effort to include or exclude it.
